Story of a Girl

I was thirteen when my dad caught me with Tommy Webber in the back of Tommy's Buick, parked next to the old Chart House down in Montara at eleven o'clock on a Tuesday night. 

Tommy was seventeen & the supposed friend of my brother, Darren. 

I didn't love him. 

I'm not sure I even liked him. 

In a moment, Deanna Lambert's teenage life is changed forever. Struggling to overcome the lasting repercussions & the stifling role of "school slut," Deanna longs to escape a life defined by her past. With subtle grace, complicated wisdom, & striking emotion, Story of a Girl reminds us of our human capacity for resilience, epiphany, & redemption.
